Chapter 5

Levy had never in a million years think that she would be capable of saying something like that to Gajeel not only was it harsh but it was untrue. Most people enjoyed Gajeel's company even though it was usually a quite one or a loud one usually involving Salamander.

After she had run blindly into town she ended up in the center of town she decided to take a seat.

Levy was truly sorry for what she had done and now she was just sitting next to the fountain in the square hearing the fountains water drop down ever so gently into the water. She talked to herself

"stupid Gajeel, Dumb iron headed Ahh" she got up and paced around the fountain for awhile trying to calm her thoughts.

She wanted to make things right with Gajeel but how? The stinging of her tears still fresh on her face wasn't helping her in her current situation. She still wanted to know why he would want to tell her something then completely ignore her on the matter when she asked. She soon began to tire out from walking endlessly in a circle so she took a seat back down in her original seat.

She sat there for a moment not really sure what to do except wait. She knew that sooner or later someone would come looking for her and she was right. She just hadn't expected that person to be the source of her troubles. She got up to walk away but Gajeel shouted before she had the chance to take a step "Stop shrimp". Levy seemed to listen but began to continue her walk. Gajeel noticed this and trailed after her "Come on this ain't fair" Gajeel tried to explain to levy.

Levy simply continued her strides ignoring the large man behind her. The angry script mage charged through town ignoring every attempt the raven haired mage through at her to get her attention. They walked for awhile with Gajeel trailing Levy trying to talk to her. Gajeel finally stopped and realized this was going nowhere quite literally Levy had brought them in a complete circle. Gajeel noticing this made a chuckle "nice navigation skills you got there tiny" Levy upon hearing this insult realized that she had brought them to where they had started.

She was more angry at the size joke more than anything she turned to Gajeel with an embarrassed blush "what do you want? Stop following me there's no point". She paused and looked over at Gajeel "You don't want to talk and that apparent."

Gajeel knew that trying to fix a angry girls mind was a very hard concept. Especially after he ignored her flat out and was now trying to talk to her. Gajeel was sorry for what he did, he knew he couldn't tell her his true feelings or what he thought. things would get too complicated, and Gajeel would end up the fool in the end.

Levy had tired herself out walking around in a huge circle this was starting to show as her legs started to tremble a little bit. She thought the best idea was to just go back to her house in fairy hills "Alright if you're not going to say anything i think im.." but before she could finish she was cut off.

"Please don't go" Gajeel managed to say before she finished her sentence. Levy seemed to relish the thought of them actually talking. She wanted to push buttons a little it was only fair. payback from him ignoring her, so she asked with a sly"why?".

Knowing full well why he wanted to talk but just to hear him say it would mean a lot. Gajeel put his head down, and responded with an unexpected answer " Because i think it's time to talk". Levy laughed internally at the man's response, he called her short so more payback.

"Yes i know we need to talk you won't tell me what about, and second you don't start a sentence with because". Levy felt empowered over the man that clearly could break her neck like a toothpick. Gajeel simply asked "who told you that we needed to talk?"

Levy responded with a familiar exceed name "Pantherlily baka". Gajeel knew he had something to do with this he knew how he would punish him later. A few days without Kiwi juice ought to be enough payback. Gajeel smiling to himself relished the thought of Lily begging him to get some and being denied.

He looked back at Levy and asked " What exactly did he tell you he wanted to talk about?"

Levy was confused at this statement, so she just said what he told her "He told me you wanted to talk, and also that you could tell me why his morning had been so rough". Gajeel started to walk over to Levy "Well both of those statements i can answer,but not here not now".

He dazed off for a moment and thought about the consequences of telling and not telling levy what was actually wrong.

Gajeel knew what he was going to do was really stupid he was trying to meander away from answering the first statement, but he could lie about the second one. Gajeel was way too stubborn to admit his problems to anyone they were his problems.

The last thing he wanted was to drag Levy into his growing guilt. Levy saw that The studded man was pondering about something, so she tried to break him out of his trance. "Ok we will talk somewhere else where would you like to go?" Gajeel snapped out of his day dreaming, and came back to reality "How about we do it tomorrow i have things i have to think about today".

Levy's mood seemed to decrease at the sound of his response. She accepted his decision regardless. She just had one slight problem, she planned on going on a mission with her Shadow Gear.

So there was no way she could talk with him it had to be today. "It can't be tomorrow Gajeel it has to be today" Gajeel huffed "Why? come on shrimp work with me here"

Levy responded with "Its either today or not at all". Levy was set on making him talk today.

Gajeel was not about to tell her anything about himself, but he decided "Fine we'll talk today alright?" Gajeel was stubborn but he knew he couldn't win out against the script mage. "Just follow me you stubborn girl" He grabbed her hand and walked towards the local park that was a few blocks away from where they currently were.

As soon as Gajeel had grabbed her hand Levy's Cheeks turned cherry red, the way his calloused hand seemed to be so soft against her plush skin made levy's stomach do somersaults. Levy's curiosity got the better of her and she just had to ask "Where are we going?"

Gajeel respond with a quick answer "The park" while Gajeel was on the topic he asked "Any reason why you can't talk tomorrow?". Gajeel was curious on why she had to talk right there and now. Levy knew that question was coming she did kind of just say she can't. No explanation so she answered him as they walked hands still unknowingly together with Gajeel leading the way.

"I have a mission I promised Jet and Droy i would go" Gajeel never understood why she still hung around them. "Can't you just blow them off?" Levy puffed her cheeks "No i can't just ditch them a promise is a promise".

Gajeel responded in a joking manner "You guys are joined at the hip seriously you're always around them"

Levy replied with a joke of her own " Do i sense a hint of jealousy?". Gajeel turned around and stopped "No" then continued his walk with levy in tow. Levy smiled a little at this she noticed a hint of Jealousy if only just a little.

"We're almost there" we can talk for a little bit here. After a few more minutes of comfortable silence they arrived at the park.

Before they started talking they both noticed that the were still holding hands. Which as soon as Gajeel noticed he let go, and embarrassed he asked her if she could sit at a bench a couple of feet away. Levy sensing and sharing the same embarrassment as Gajeel blushed, and sat down where Gajeel had motioned.

Levy thought that this was going to be the day that Gajeel finally opened up a little bit to her, she was looking forward to talking. Maybe even herself or him confessing her hidden feelings for the man. Or maybe just maybe he would tell her his feelings.

As she took her seat she asked the man who was currently occupying her thoughts "Ok so what do you want to talk about?". Gajeel was prepared and had planned to answer her question well just the part of why Lily was woken up so early.

"Alright Shrimp i'll tell you why I woke Lily up so early" Levy was intent on listening so she leaned in as Gajeel was sitting up. "Alright well i woke up early and bumped into Lily's bed he woke up, and we got into a screaming match that woke up the whole neighborhood, and then we fought little and i left the house".

Levy Shook her head and nodded "Oh no wonder he was so angry with you" Gajeel was internally congratulating himself for the hard effort he put into that story and that it actually worked. "Ya so Lil's pretty angry now, so i have to try and make things right with him."

Levy nodded again, but internally Levy was angry that Gajeel was lying to her face about what happen she always knew when Gajeel was lying because he sucked at it.

Levy got up abruptly, and gave Gajeel a death stare "Listen you lying idiot if you don't want to tell me why. Then just say so don't play me like i'm some simple headed person."

Levy started to walk away, but Gajeel grabbed her hand before she could go " Please don't leave Pip i'm sorry" Levy looked at Gajeel with her hazel eyes and said "No i will talk to you when i'm back from my mission goodbye." Gajeel let go of her hand and Levy walked back to her house to get ready for her mission.

Gajeel was left standing alone as he was used to he tightened his fist and thought about the lie he had just told the one person who actually tried to accept him for who he was and now he wouldn't see her for how long? She never specified did she? "Damn now what?"

Levy was speed walking back to her house, she hated being lied to what was the reason? she wanted to yell at Iron Dragon Slayer for lying to her, she just needed to clear her head and a mission with her old friends was a perfect way to do that.

She would try and talk to Gajeel when she returned which would only be about 5 days she suspected. Her mission was to go to a wealthy mans house defend the house. Until she finished an ancient text how hard could it be for a clean 60,000 jewels? When she reached her house she felt like somehow she shouldn't have left Gajeel, but she put the thought in the back of her head and went up to her room to get ready.
